Brewers Engaged In Trade Talks With White Sox On Ace Garrett Crochet

Jon Morosi tweeted that the Brewers are engaged in conversations with the White Sox about their ace starter, Garrett Crochet.

This... is surprising, to say the least. I also find it unlikely that anything will come of it.

Morosi is not the most reliable rumormonger, for starters. More importantly, there are a dozen vultures circling on the White Sox lefty, including teams such as the Cubs and Red Sox. The Red Sox in particular seem eager to spend as much money as possible and they have the farm system to acquire nearly any player in baseball if they put their mind to it.

With that said, no one should put anything past Brewers GM Matt Arnold at this point. He has a well-earned reputation as one of the shrewdest negotiators in baseball and routinely pulls off deals no one expects.
